520			_aEnvironmental health policy occupies a prominent position on both local and global agendas as old and new challenges confront the human race. There is a continual requirement for policies which will deal effectively with hazards which impinge on health and wellbeing. This book provides a multidisciplinary window onto environmental policy and its formulation. Topics include: key threats to human health from the physical environment; policies that might be pursued to minimise those risks; how risks can be identified and quantified; how such information can be communicated to the public; how health impact assessments can be carried out; how risks can be managed and regulated.
